Good Dog posted:Everyone's gotta have a "I remember going to that pitcher duel" story. Pitcher duels rule. During my high school's senior ditch day, a bunch of us went to Wrigley and saw Randy Johnson destroy the Cubs with a 1-hitter. It was a pitcher's duel until the 6th inning, at least. Jon Lieber and Greg Maddux starts were pretty much the only time I would keep track of pitch counts on my scorecard. More recently, I attended game 1 of last year's NLDS. That was one hell of a pitcher's duel.

Julio Cruz posted:If only he'd threatened her with a gun the Cubs would have been on the phone. It wouldn't be very good job security for Mr. Met. The Cubs would just overwork him for 3 months and kick him to the curb after a ring. I've heard he always wanted to be the Yankees mascot anyway.

 Jon Lester legitimately picked off Tommy Pham via an overhand throw to first base from the mound.

Intruder posted:Saw a stat somewhere that only one team in history has started with 41 wins in its first 57 games and won less than 102 games The Cubs were 40-17 after 57 games last year, so the Astros this year are doing a game better. As long as they're not playing against the Cubs in the World Series, I'll be rooting for them.

Intruder posted:So that's what it looks like if you use gate attendance instead of paid attendance If you're referring to the Mariner's/A's game in 1979, 653 was the paid attendance. Actual attendance was around 250.

You can see the ball the entire way from his bat until it hits the ground and it just had a lot of spin on it. It didn't make any jarring change of direction. Consider the home run a punishment for misplaying it so badly.

beejay posted:Kyle Hendricks to the 10 day DL with right hand tendinitis. That's not good. He's been our best starter this year in terms of both WHIP and bWAR. Niwrad posted:Kyle Schwarber for Chris Archer. Let's do this. I'd be worried about the Trop's structural integrity from all the Schwarbombs hitting weak spots.

Dingleberry Jones posted:In 9 hours I will be leaving for my first ever trip to the Hall of Fame. I'm stoked. Has anyone ever been? Any pointers? When I first started dating my girlfriend I mentioned to her that the Hall of Fame was one of my lifelong dreams, and for my birthday, she surprised me with this trip. I went there for Ryne Sandberg's induction, which was complete insanity. The entire town was packed to the gills with people. I imagine on a normal week, the vibe is way more chill with a folksy small-town feel. My favorite part about going on induction weekend was the fact that you'd just be walking down the street and oh hey there's Dave Winfield, there's Yogi Berra, there's Rollie Fingers, just checking out the local shops like everyone else.

I'm really glad that when I caught a foul ball a couple years ago, it was after a 2-hour rain delay and there were no kids around at the time. I'd been going to games for 25 years by that point and had never caught a non-BP ball, so gently caress giving it away.  Zack Hample has a billion foul balls though, so he is just a greedy rear end in a top hat if he doesn't give them away.

RA Dickey's had a fine MLB career without even having a UCL. Teach Torres to throw a knuckler and he'll be fine.

Rizzo's slash line this June is .400/.507/.750. Since he moved to the leadoff spot, he is 5-5 with 2 homers and a walk in his first PA of the game, with his most recent leadoff hit being a gently caress your shift bunt single.

Rand alPaul posted:Barry Bonds laughs at your age. You could go 2-5 with a home run and a single every game of an entire season and your OPS would still be lower than Barry Bonds' was in 2004, the season where he turned 40. Although my favorite Barry Bonds fact ever is there has only been one pitcher in history who faced Bonds 6 or more times and didn't let him reach base. That pitcher, Geremi Gonzalez, died by being struck by lightning.

Poque posted:Russell to the DL, presumably as a time out to think about what he's done So that's Russell, Heyward, Zobrist, Hendricks, and Anderson all on the DL?  Makes me realize how fortunate the Cubs were last year to have relatively few DL stints, with the exception of Schwarber being gone all season, but that might have actually been a blessing in disguise.

cis autodrag posted:"2/3 of the world is covered by water, the 1/3 by baez". that's pretty good. According to Statcast, his catch in the 8th inning was the most ground covered by a shortstop on a flyout in two years.
